Great article on our red hot dog tradition

uncletupelo asked, "Do you actually like anything southern?"

YES!!! My SOUTHERN HUSBAND! Love 'im!!!!!

(And Zweigles are well known for their excellent hot dogs -- in addition to the white hot, they also make the digusting ultra-red-dyed Southern ones...they probably taste the same as the white ones. But I'm sure you'd prefer them. )

Why does it not surprise me that you think the red ones are disgusting but the white ones are the best hot dog ever made even though they are the exact same hot dog except for the red dye?

There are lots of foods I'd prefer not to have soaked in red dye. In fact, I can't think of any I'd like to soaked in red dye, no matter what they tasted like.

Well, I'm a local native and I don't eat the red ones either. I notice the article doesn't even mention the actual dye they use, but in any case, I can't think of a good reason to consume MORE chemicals. I'm sure I already eat enough, but the red ones freak me out too!
